Mr. Chair, that's one of the questions that we are currently working on. We're looking at those programs that use the SIN for administrative purposes and want to see to what extent their current clientele of recipients have dormant flags associated with the SIR and the SIN.
Our expectation is that will be extremely low. For example, in a program like EI, you cannot receive EI if there is a dormant flag on the SIN. Other programs don't work exactly the same way, so we want to look hard at whether or not some of their clients have gone dormant or were dormant when the benefit was paid. We don't currently have information on that, but I expect the next time I'm invited to speak to the committee about that, I would be happy to make a presentation on the results of that work.
